Odom, who was drafted by the Clippers more than a decade ago, says "it feels great to be back in L.A."

In 1999, Lamar Odom was drafted by the Clippers, a 19-year-old player out of Rhode Island by way of Queens, N.Y.

In 2012, Odom has found his way back to the Clippers, returning after he was acquired from the Dallas Mavericks on Friday in a four-team trade that sent Mo Williams to the Utah Jazz.

“It feels great to be back in L.A.,” Odom said Monday at his news conference at the Clippers’ facility in Playa Vista. “It feels great to be back in a Clippers uniform. It’s like déjà vu all over again. I feel like I’m 19. Hopefully I can turn back the clock on the court as well.”

Odom had a tough season last year in Dallas, which acquired him from the Lakers.

In 50 games with the Mavericks, during the lockout-shortened season, Odom had his worst career as a 13-year professional.
